High quality, home cooked food
There’s nothing like the taste of a home-cooked dinner. Our chef and kitchen staff prepare flavoursome, home cooked food using quality, fresh ingredients. We offer a varied menu each week of healthy meals that are nutritious and balanced, while not compromising on taste. We also provide meals that meet individual dietary requirements.
Mealtimes are a shared occasion, which residents enjoy in the dining room of their wings. This recreates the feel of family mealtimes at home. We celebrate special occasions together in the terrace café, which provides ample room to invite guests and to host entertainment.

As well as the main kitchen, there is a kitchen on each wing for the preparation of drinks and snacks for residents to enjoy in the comfort of their rooms or lounges.
Specialist dining provision is also provided for those affected by dementia. We care about our residents maintaining their independence and offer choice without overwhelming.
Dining is not just about everyday meals. We also provide regular treats such as afternoon cream teas, cocktails, and cakes. Birthdays, Easter and other special occasions are also celebrated with special meals, party platters and home cooked treats.
Our residents particularly enjoy Christmas when staff organise a number of parties with entertainment and delicious food, not forgetting our traditional home cooked Christmas dinner with all the trimmings! For these special occasions we also invite family and friends to join us to celebrate and create new memories.
